The guitar pickLOCATION: Worcester Centrum (now the DCU Centre) , Worcester, MassachusettsYEAR: 1991TAGS: Clint BlackPUBLISHED: February 15, 2008My mother and her boyfriend Ted had slept out all night in front of the Centrum in Worcester. The reason: to get three front row tickets for Clint Black. And they did. I was the lucky one to attend the show with them, as I did consider myself a fairly big Clint Black fan. I had no idea that the seat I had chosen out of the three was right front and center to the stage. All that was between me and Clint was a security guard and a gate. That evening Clint followed the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and opened his show with "Put Yourself In My Shoes", one of my favorite tunes. As he stood there strumming his guitar, our eyes locked for a moment and he smiled in my direction. I felt my mother nudge me as if I wasn't paying attention. Just as he strummed the last few chords to the song, he tipped his hat and flung his guitar pick out into the audience. My mother and I scrambled for it but in the darkness we couldn't see where it had gone. As the show broke for intermission before the next act began, I stood up and my mother looked down at my seat. "Look!" She hollered. Sitting there was the white guitar pick with Clint's name on it. It must've landed there while we were standing to applaud. Here we had been searching for it and I was sitting on it the entire time. There was no arguing over whose guitar pick that was.
